Woe is Me Wednesday

Rocky: Drat. Curses. Phooey. Bah humbug. Woe is me ...I'm pouting on my human artist's work because that Milky thing is still in my living room ... and I'm not ...She says she can't introduce us to the Milky intruder until he finishes his antibiotics and she's sure he isn't contagious in any way. He's getting better ... gaining weight, opening his eyes, growing some furs. In the meantime, I'm wallowing in misery.

We've also been having serious talks about whether or not Mr. Milky gets to join my staff. I reminded my human artist of her vow ... that we wouldn't hire more staff as long as Callie is with us, because she's 19 years old and gets upset easily. And we already have 8 cats and a woofie on our permanent staff here in our headquarters.

I've agreed that he can stay with us until he's all healthy again and not so scraggly looking and gets his hoohahectomy next month ... but after that, if one of our cat blogging friends would be interested in giving him a furever home ... would like to "Get Milk" ... my humans have agreed to drive him to his new home. My mom says it will break her heart to be without him, but she loves him enough to give him a better life than he might have here with us. And if he's with a cat blogging friend, he'll always be with her.

We is glad Milky is getting better, it's good of you to allow him to stay until he's healthy...did you ask Callie what she thinks? We thawt Zippy would flip-out when we got Speedy. The original plan was to get him nootered and get his shots den find him another home. Imagine da surprise when (after nootering) we would find him cuddling wif one of da gerls or sitting in da middle of da couch wif one of us one each side.

we was gonna ask if you asked Callie too. Mommy thought that Gramma Trixie would nefur aksept anofur brofur after Ralphie went to the Bridge - 'acuase she was 17 and a geezer, but after a couple of hours of being hissy, she started to love Sammy and said he could stay. And then I came along and I helpded her when she gotted blind and took care of her like she was my real grammacat. So maybe Callie would like Milky. But if not, we unnerstand that he might need a better forever home. We is just wanting the furry best for Milky.

Aw, that's sad - we thought Milky was going to join the staff. But we think you should ask Callie too. No matter what her decision, we're sure Mr. Milky will get a wonderful forever home (we know the human artist wouldn't have it any other way).

Rocky you are a good fella to allow Mr Milky to stay whilst he recoups his health, and I can understand why you feel so fulla woe.

My take on it is, that it's early days yet. You haven't formally met the Milky Smiler yet and cat dynamics can often surprise humans. Sometimes it's easier for a new cat to settle into a larger group of cats. I'd ask Callie for her opinion too, she is the senior cat afterall. Your Mom is dong the right thing, thinking about all the options. Sending you all big supportive purrs.

No one wants to see sad kitties. Were I close, I would take Milky. But I have no idea where you live. My babies are all atizzy because I am ripping up my kitchen-they have a space at the end of the counter for their treats. Otherwise the dogs would eat them all! so I had to move thier bowl. But I need a new kitchen after 30 years. THey will still get a space on the end later-only purrtier.It will bet better fur babies. I promise.

Well, while we hope Mr. Milky gets to stay with you we understand that there is a green paper issue as well as other issues. Wherever he ends up you can all be proud that you helped out a poor kitty who was down on his luck.

Oh, Mr. Milky was the luckiest mancat efur when he founded your People. Whether he finds a place on your staff or goes to another wunnerful furever home, he will have the best life efur for a kitty that was hurted so bad.The Woman and me are very, very happies that he is getting all better. He probly nefur knew what love and cuddles wuz before.

Rocky, I can understand about your being unhappy at not being able to be in your living room. Mr. Milky is healing up fast and will soon either be gone to a new forever home or become part of the staff. Just be patient and things will settle down again soon.

We're sorry you're in quarantine until Milky gets better, but from the look of the pictures, your new intern is coming along well so it shouldn't be too much longer.There's always room for 1 more when they choose you! Milk - it does a heart good. Keep him!!!

Oh noooooooo. The mom is contemplating on this. Do you know that this means Rocky? It means she is thinking she may want Milky in our home. She says though she has to think on it a bit more because her heart still aches for her TT Girl and Fatty.

Personally dude, I think your mom is a great mom for Mr Milky. After all, he did pick your house to be resuced at. Just like Molly and I did over 5 years ago as kittens. :)

Our Mommy has the same rools about more kitties. A'course, dis howse is almost no big enuff for all us Hotties already. I keep a'mindin Mommy dat when she wants to help ofur cats by bringin them home. But she sighs a lot cuz there's not more room.Glad Milky's feelin better!Purrrrrrrrrs,Sanjee
